7 and a half minutes in and still hasn't to the point. I remember that much.

My psychology teacher showed us this video in class. This is very useful!!!!

Sooooo exactly WHAT are the tricks to use to remember stuff??? None of that was really mentioned in depth....

Very similar sounding to a book I read by Dominic O'brien - Learn to Remember. I can’t believe they don’t teach this in school!

I will use this for my presentationThx 😊

OK. HOLD UP. This should be apart of class in schools.

wait, so, Brittany Spears ----i.m a bit confused--- finally, which is it? is chicken of the seas chicken or tuna ?

I need help my girlfriend will kill me !!The naked people still in my imaginary house , how I can kick them out ?

5 years later I am still using these techniques, thank you Joshua!

Beware yoga. Those spirits are not good. They are just demons pretending to be nice. Do not channel spirits.

@Good Tree Ministries Yoga? What are you talking about? This video is about memory techniques.

Why would anyone dislike this

This helped me thru four certifications! I wish they would teach it as a standard/required course.

Thank you Joshua for introducing me to this, used in my public law exams, memorised Lord Bingham 8 sub rules on rule of law and then the chapters that followed, not saying that it can work for everything but it may

does anyone else find his sort of lisp a turn on?...ok just me i guess....

I told a friend 'you have a bad memory" he replied "I do to' I said 'no you don't' he replied "yes I do" i said 'no you don't" he replied "yes i do' I said "no you don't" he replied "don't what?"

You question why they don't teach these in schools. Teachers are there to teach you, but they never teach you how to use your own brain. It's like having a powerful tool, but no one ever tells you how to use it.

why would he think of those people as "freaks of nature" instead of geniuses? I don't think the guy is a very nice person to know.

Thanks so much for this. I just did a ten minute presentation at work based on the memory palace principles. Aced the speech with near-total accuracy...and didn't refer to my notes one bit.

Mike Ross from suits sent me here !

AWESOME!

Please give the subtitles

I cringed when he mentioned blackberries and iPhones as if blackberries were as relevant as Androids!Great video nevertheless. Some people might think more visually than others, but everyone can learn to improve their memory by association.

Julk years ago blackberries were popular tho

Five minutes in and I realize I've read his book before. It's nice to watch him do this Ted talk

7:00 The moment I realized he's talking out of his mental palace

Learning how to learn sent me here .

that imagine bit at the front is just what drugs are like

Não entendi nada😐😶😢

This is so amazing when you remember things by making a visual representation in your head. Thumbs up if you memorized the story he gave us to visualize in the beginning.

i am used to do this in school when i had to remember 2 and more pages of topics . so what i use to do is create a story as line prgogress new things happends to main character . when i need to answer those 2 pages then i just play that whole story like video and lines and paragrhaphs keep coming in mind. that time it was so easy for me currently cant' do that easily.

So to sum it up , to memorise things:put in effort to make highly visual thoughts and stories about what you want to remember. when doing this , have no distractionthe Roman orators used these tricks

Now where did I leave my keys ....

Thank you Joshua...😊❤

Beautiful

this is really really a good one. It gives us so much of meaningful insights. Thank you!

?? the britney spears bit was weird and misogynistic

wow he made an incredibe ending of the talk!!

This was so helpful.I had no idea about everything he just talked about.I’ve always thought having good memory was a feat only a genius can master.This makes me feel better about myself.And I think Joshua sums it up very well at the end:A good memory enriches our lives and our experiences.

Well said

For how long can you remember the things in the palace?

What an inspiring story!!!

This does not work...i havr already watched this video a long time ago and have forgotten about it completely . I looked at the thumbnail and thought "this look interesting " the half way through i remembered that i have watched it .... what a useless piece of junk i have of an excuse that calls it's self a brain i did not phrase that properly but i am sleepy and i dont care...bye

"And i said woahow, how come I never heard of this before? " he should have answered that by saying " because the education system will go bankrupt and no one will take student loans and then many things will happen accordingly like self taught phd level experts with no certification as well as home schooled game addicted genius children who have no need of leaving their home cuz they have ways of making money online that they taught themselves by memorising some books the stumbled upon in their school library. ...back in the day when they still went to school. .. and now although still teens they each have a phd understanding of some feild of science ....this is a detailed description of a nightmare that the minister of education has form time to time till he woke up in sweat and said to his wife : i must , *out of breath * i must with the help of media and the gov , hide every trace possible of the modern and ancient memory enhancing techniques from public to avoid such a disaster! ...His wife then says: i will go and make some coffe want some with your eggs and ham? He then says after swallowing realising what he sounded like *gulp* : yes please , that would be nice . *still breathing heavily but not as hard as before *..."////Ofc if he said something remotely close in his talk like against the gov or edu systems ....the least of his problems would be banned ted talk , then arrested or just assassination . Maybe dissappear. So here i am fbi , nsa and interpol etc... i am explaining why non of our curriculums contains such ancient techs to improve our learning , we are being ripped of and fooled into thinking we need to pay for and edu because we cant possibly teach anything to ourselves nor self develop our skills unless we pay some group of experts (uni ) to that for us... once people realise this they will stop paying and going or sending their family members to such places (its personal as well since i hate my uni so u can imagine alk the emotional struggle i am going through watching this video and writing this comment. ... i am kind of venting but notnin private so i am hoping someone sees this while not really caring if no one sees it.... so do not take this comment the wrong way while parts are serious others are jokes...u decide whih are which ) So come and get me if you think i am wrong . This kind of thing should be taught at pre school, high school , uni and companies and money that is spent on higher edu can be spent onnthe certification but in a different way , convince me otherwise (fyi : i am lacking sleep as i am writing this)

I fully agree with your comment. I hope you get sleep though

University doesn‘t exist to make us remember things, in a way it just forces us to actually study things by testing our memory in exams. but nobody really thinks that we can‘t memorize everything by ourselves, it‘s rather that university is supposed to help filter out what is scientific and worth memorizing and what isn‘t

I'm learning to speak english with aplication Mosalingua or Mosalearning, and I seen this video becouse of this aplication...this video is very great.

All these people do not actually explain what they did to train their memories. Why they don't say: I read this book and include the author; It's always and I am quoting Mr. Foer's words" I spent a year investigating ancient data on memory..." just say clearly what steps, books, (not ancient techniques used by ancient Greeks or "investigating memory "bla bla bla) Explain in short a method. Why don't he list books he had read.

Am I the only one felt I got nothing out it?

Where are you Sherlock?

.Excellent

Such a POWERFUL strategy. I utilized this during a competitive Speech season, and it’s truly the reason I achieved State Champion in Impromptu speaking. Memorizing visualizations that represent stories/topics I tended to want to talk about..... I was “prepared” with ideas for each speech although many people didn’t know how. Very powerful too. Master this, people!!

I love this talk

I began building my own mind palace after this, and have had it for nearly a year now. I fill it with facts i dont want to forget, phrases i want to remember, and even song titles I want to look up later. I started with an empty house that i must approach to enter, and it grows more vivid every time.Sidenote: i found this can also work in controlling memories that cause anxiety. In the backyard of my palace, I created a black hole in the ground, that i cover with one of those twist-top man-hole-like cover things. Every time i come across something i cant handle dwelling on, i unscrew the top and drop it inside, and reseal it. This works more and more every time i do it.

Jacci Wolff hi Wolff would you please tell me how you started

I love how a lot of Americans always go up a pitch with their voice when speaking, as if every thing they said was a question? That´s just amazing? Great talk however?

visual spacial context

This talk reminded me of 14 years ago when I was able to remember all the dialogues of Finding Nemo movie. Now I realise how I was able to do so.

I am currently reading his book.

Bravo!! Great speech. He really got me thinking.

Im memorizing the first 1000 digits of pi, im around 150 right now

How long did it take? It seems like a nice way to train memory. My friend remembered a bunch of random numbers like root of 2. Useless yet it seems like a great life skill to have.

Wow! you wasted a lot of precious time for a completely useless thing!

@Deep Purple What if he's in a scenario like Bruce Willis in whichever Die Hard movie with Samuel L. Jackson where they had to solve puzzles to keep a bomb from going off, but the solution is the first hundred digits of pi? He'll be a hero, the terrorist will fall off the top of a building, and we'll all have a Merry Christmas.

This really helps...i was here a 3 years back. Loci method helped me alot in my studies.Now here to thanks jousha and TED.

Sherlock sent me here I was waiting for him to ,ention Sherlock when he talked about Baker 221 Baker street

My psych teacher linked me here. Sort of. She copied the link onto a document, then printed out the document and gave it to me.

Dr. Barbara Oakley sent me here.

All fun and games, except if you have ADD...:(

This video is available in hindi

Awesome lecture. Very inspiring. It's all about practice.

سبرايز مذا فكا

👌👌👌👌👌

I cant forget, but i dont rememebr what...

I mostly agree with you and it gave me alot of inspiration to be better

"in the first place" :D

Crazier the construction, the better. I think I saw Terry Bradshaw describe this many moons ago.

1.5x speed is fine.

Brought here from the book “A Mind for Numbers” by Barbara Oakley, it talks about the memory palace technique in much more depth.

"Our lives are the sum of our memories"--so true!!

Loved it

I have enjoyed memorizing the first 115 numbers of the Fibonacci sequence. I did not use any special technique.

Can't believe I'm just finding this video in 2017 lol

Weird, that Brittany Spears story is not in his book, in fact Ed asked him instead of Him asking Ed.

Amazing. Thank you!

But there is something intriguing about this. Are Autistic savants using these tricks? I think not. They have access to the memories whereas what this guy is telling us is how normal people can access the memories. Right?

Божечки, как же скучно! Информацию двух предложений он умудрился на 20 минут растянуть. Сплошная вода, даже в моем дипломе столько не было. Джошуа Фор верни мне, блеать, 20 минут моей жизни!

wow! Great Speech!

Really awesome Joshua. I'm reading his book "Moonwalking with Einstein" and it's fascinating. Thanks for sharing this.

His book brought be here. Great job 😀

This guys voice is so annoying.

What if i can't remember how to remember things from this video ?

Then, at that momentyou fucked up

my professor sent me here lol

Is this method used for long term or only short term memory?

I read his fucking book and some of the tricks in there for memory retention is awesome and truly works

الموضوع عن الذاكرة لازم يقحمون النجاسة والعري والبذاءة في الموضوع الله يقلعك انت وذاكرتك المعفنة

Great talk

Is there any VERY GOOD method I can use to memorize (FOREVER) all 2300 kanji from japanese language? Each kanji has from two to five different readings. Sigh...

Willian yes, there is. More or less forever

I'm here from Sherlock.

It was Amazing.Thank you so much!
